VEGETARIANIsM A REMEDY FOR INTEM-
PERANcE.-The theory advanced by DR.. j..
Harvey Lowell, of Philadelphia, that vegeta
rianism is the best remedy for ntemperance
is interesting. Holding that the taste for
drink is abnormal, resulting from the use of
meats. he claims that if men would confne
themselves 20 vegetables they would
have no desire for liquor. The truth
of the theory could he easily tested,
as there are many persons who subslst
upon vegetables only. If all vegeta.
riaus abstain from liquor through distaste
for it, this fact would be good evidence in
favor of DR.. Lovel's theory. We are aware
that hunting people, such as savage Ameri-
can Indians, who feed upon meat almost
exclusively, have a strong hankering after
"Gre.water." There is doubtless some re.
lationship between taste for strong meats,
highly seasoned, and that for liquors,
hot and strong. The habitual and
excessive drinker of whisky turns to
highly spiced meats rather than TO
milder foods and we are not going to
sag that indulgence in peppery sausages
and steaks does not in turn encourage a
desire for stimulating drinks. The truth
is that people generally in this country eat
too much meat rather than too little. a
lighter diet would be better for nost of
them. Too little attention is paid to the
purchase OF wholesome vegetables in abun-
dance snd variety and the proper cooking OF
them for the table, and too much attention
is devoted 70 the meat plate. Butcher bills
run too high in nine out Of len families.
The queen Of the kitchen gets in the way of
frying meat and potatoes; and fried beef or
pork, fried potatoes, bread and butter, and
coffee make the common bill of fare. A
smaller slice of meat, or none at all on &C.
casions, would allow pecuniary saving
from which two or three nice dishes of veg
etables could be provided to the enhanced
qualification, health, and comfort OF the
family Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

ANEW RANGE

The range cattle men have all along
felt that their interests were not COM
patible with these of farmers and
ranch mer, as as soon as the settle
ments become mum ,rous along the
borders OF their ranges they moved
their herds back. The settlers of
course select the best land wherever
they locate, and while perhaps the
general area of the range may not be
seriously encroached upon the cattle
are shut of from the best erased val.
leys and slopes, and often from every
easy access to water; and their free
movement from one part of the range
to another greatly impeded by the
fences which the settler erects around
his possessions; besides the settlers
passing backward and forward over
the range looking up their own stock
keep the cattle stirred up to an extent
not favorable to animals which must
make their W wintering In the open
air. And once in q while here IL a
settler whose lows drop twins, while
some Of the rangeman's COWS show up
without calves at the branding season.
But now that there is no longer an
~unoccupied country beyond. and the
range man can no longer move his
herds back out Of the way and must
put up with the inconvenience of
neighbors a new difficulty has arisen
which promises to interfere more
than ever with open range
prsctises. A very moderate influx
OF settlers places them in q ma
jority, and they seem disposed to
establish regulations and invoke legal
conditions favorable to their own In
terests. Thus, the settlers in one Of
the extreme western counties of Ne
brasks bordering upon Wyoming and
in the very midst Of the range coun-
try, recently voted in favor Of the
herd law by a majority Of two TO one.
II prohibits the ranging of stock upon
the plain except in the charge of a
herder, and makes the owners of stock
responsible for damage to unfenced
grain crops. The settlers have only
q moderate amount Of stock, and In
the relief from the cost of fencing find
compensation for the cost of several
clubbing together for the hire of a
herder to take charge of the animals
In the daytime and bring them into
enclosures at night. If the settlers
should prove strong enough to secure
herd laws generally 1t would bring
the business of the open ranging Of
cattle to an abrupt termination. such
laws would seem unobjectionable In a
country where nearly the whole area
IL susceptible Of being utilized for the
raising Of crops, but In a country
where the larger area cannot be so
used, or used at all unless for grazing
1t would scarcely seem the proper
thing. In such q country 1t Is bettel

AN exchange says there will be sew
eral devices in use next winter, on
various railroads, for the heating Of
cars, but quite generally the stove will
be abandoned and the danger of holo-
causts from this source removed. We
noted q few days ago that the New
York Central would have q new
method Of heating, and it is an.
nounced that the Pennsylvania rail-
road company will heat its cars by
steam. After extended experiments
the company has reached entirely sat
isfactory results and will equip a num-
Der of its passenger trains with the
steam heating appliances. which 1t is
expected will swe the object
fully. During the tests an inter
esting discovery was made which
Is said to have surprised ex-
perts. This was that II would take a.
pressure Of four or five pounds Of steam
from the locomotive to keep up uni.
form heat through a train Of eight
coaches. The argument against the
use of steam for heating trains has al
ways been that it would too greatly
diminish the supply needed for the
actual service Of the locomotive 10
drawing the train. This has been dis
proved by the result of the tests,
which have been compile te enough to
demonstrate that a locomotive can
generate enough steam to draw a
train and supply the coaches. The
lamp, which was re sponsible for ig.
hitting the cars at Chattsworth, re-
mains to be disposed Of and must ulti'
mately go.

A WEAK SPOT.
How the Interstate Law Works to the Ad-
vantage of a Canadian Railroad.

How the Interstate Law Works to the Ad-
vantage of a Canadian Railroad.
Washington Special
The attention of the Interstate Commerce
Commission has been called to the inroads which
the Canadian Pacific railroad has made into the
traffic business of the American transcontinental
companies since the interstate-commer law
went into effect. It is asserted that the law, in
connection with the treaty of Washington,
which permits the transportation Of goods in
bond from points in one country through the
territory of the other back to the country from
which the consignment was originally made. has
resulted to the material advantage of the Cana
dian company. This road is. of course, not af-
fected by the interstate law The long -and-short-
haul clause does not apply to roads
the border. Naturally, therefore, the Canadian
Pacific road is enabled to cut rates to figures far
below those which the American roads can offer
to shippers. 1t is said By gentleman interested
in of the transcontinental lines that the
Canadian corporation had been enabled to draw
naturally come East by the American lines and
all the Pacific companies have determined to
ask the commission for some relief. If the COM
mission is powerless, and it seems that it can do
absolutely nothing under the circumstances. the
roads will apply to Congress for relief. They
will have resolution offered directing the Presi-
dent to notify the British authorities that the
United States desires the abrogation of the Sec
ton of the treaty of Washington under which
goods can be transported in bond from coun-
try through the other. back to the country from
which they originated. This will, of course
meet with decided opposition, but the railway
people will make a strong fight to pass it.

THE ROW AT CHAuTAUQUA.
President Miller and Two Policemen Arrested

JAMESTOWN, n. Y. Aug 20.-The row at the

plant Mr.. Wade sets forth that at the time of

peared in a lawful capacity, and that policeman
Taylor, by order of President Miller, illegally
arrested him without any reasonable cause
Justification, and demands judgment in the sum
of So, 600, together with the costs of action.
Leroy G. Dale, who acted as chairman OF the
boiling meeting and arrested with Mr..
Wade makes out a similar against Presi-
dent Miller and policeman Benmus, demand
